Fayette Searchlight

This afternoon, for nearly 45 minutes, Matthew Dowling, a candidate for the 51st Legislative District seat held by State Rep. Timothy S. Mahoney, was a guest on the Truth For America program heard on WMBS 590 AM in Uniontown, and hosted by Fayette County Republican Party Chairman David Show.

The subject of per diems versus paid reimbursement was covered at length, as well as budget votes, the Castle Doctrine, the Second Amendment, school localization, etc.

Although the issue of voter fraud entered last evening's third presidential debate/forum in the form of the candidates being asked if they'd accept the results of the election, and although the blogosphere and Twitter are abuzz with the discussion of fraud in elections, Mr. Dowling did not broach the issue of the non-investigation of the 3rd Referral of the Fayette County Election Board [allegations of election fraud against State Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-51) stemming from his filing of altered and falsely sworn Affidavits of Circulator and fatally defective Referendum petitions in his attempt to place a question on the Fayette County ballot].

For the record, this writer does not post at Fay-West Discuss under the pseudonyms "Jack Webb," "Loren Mazik," or as anyone else who reposts material from this blog.

That being said, do not these apparent supporters of Mr. Dowling -- who, by their numerous posts, must see the non-investigated allegations of election fraud against his opponent as a gross injustice -- want their candidate to address the issue and to take a stance?

Will Mr. Dowling do something now to stand up for equal justice under law by publicly calling for the investigation of the 3rd Referral, and by pledging (prior to November 8) to petition (win or lose the election) the next attorney general of this commonwealth to conduct the mandatory investigation required under Pennsylvania law, or will he remain silent?
